a social pirate city

What would you even trade?

Every item, aside from gold & ancient coins, can be found easily in the game world.
And those items should NEVER become tradable, or sell-bots and RMT websites would flood the game.

cosmetics

Why?
You can just buy them yourself.

And again; It would open up real-money websites: "I'll sell you the DA sails for $20! No need to grind 1 million gold!"
And people would buy the Emporium cosmetics, then sell them for real money.

Not really needed.

well maybe trading doesnt need to be added but i still think the city is a decent idea

I mean, it's a neat idea but the idea of safe cities where pirates can gather has been suggested many, many times before.
And there's always flaws with it that have been gone over many, many times before.

Sure, many of the drawbacks are removed if it's 'off-server', meaning it's for logging in & finding crew, not for selling treasure.
But...I still, personally, don't see a need for it.

Plus, imagine having some bad actors running around and blaring loud music over open mic.
It's already incredibly annoying to run into them on the High Seas, where I can sink them. Finding them in a safe zone, where they can just follow me around, would make me never use it again.

And if it's not a safe zone; It would end up abandoned, since not many would want to hang out at it & get killed.

But that's just my take on it.
